Not sure if this is an AOSP or CM problem but... the built-in alarm allows you to set an application to run when the alarm is triggered. But, for that application to run you have to dismiss the alert dialog for the alarm. There's an option in the alarm settings to hide this dialog but it doesn't work. So, if you wanted to have music play for your alarm you would set the ringtone to silent, select your music app, hide the notification window. It would all work great if that setting to hide the dialog would work.
EDIT: Also, not sure if this is just a CM7 issue or if it's been around longer. I've only been on CM7 since RC3.
I had alarm issues a number of months ago, where it ended up being Advanced Task Killer. Being new to Android I did some reading/research, and after uninstalling that it fixed my issue. I use Alarm Clock Plus. It lets you select your ringtone/audio or open another app. I think they have a free one, and I paid like $1 or $2, never missed an alarm again.

I don't use task killers(that's an argument for another thread) and alarms works fine. It's just the "Hide dialog" setting that doesn't work. There are a lot of alarms in the market but when the built-in one does everything I want (if it worked) I'd rather use that.
Understandable. I will have to try it since I am using CM7 RC4 to see what happens, and let you know what I see.

Hmmm...that checkbox is grayed out and I cannot make it highlight to check/uncheck it. So I am not sure if that's normal or not. I am afraid I cannot offer any other insight, but I'll dink around with it to see and let you know if that changes.

You have to set the "Ringtone" of the alarm to 'Silent' for that checkbox to be enabled.
Any update on this issue? I've been having the same problem. The dialog button pops up regardless of the checkbox setting.
Still an issue in the Stable release of CM 7
Still not fixed in 7.0.2

so im not sure if this is what your asking for or not but you want to play a mp3 as you alarm right???
if so i might have found a "work around" for you. using root explorer or any file manager that has root access. take a copy of your mp3 that you want to use. and move it to /system/media/audio/alarm or make an "alarms" (has to be spelled the same way in low case) folder on you sd card and the phone will pick it up and have everything you want in there useable for alarms. both have been tested and it works.
you will have to restart the phone after making the folder and placing the mp3s in the folder, on your sd card before the phone will find it. just click "android system"

yeah man .. i think its very annoying .. keeping you waiting, plus i have a larg storge and too much mp3 files and videos .. so it takes time .. i hope there is way to stop it.
+1 count me in boys
Yep, please, please, how to disable it?
If you do have a lot of files on SD, it takes ages and slow down phone as hell.
Hey guys,
1st post. Keep it easy on me ya?
Below are the requirements needed before you can disable Media Scanning for good.
1) Rooted Galaxy S
2) Startup Manager (free in Marketplace)
Steps:
1) Startup Startup Manager
2) Goto System tab
3) Uncheck Media Storage
4) Reboot
5) And it will never bother you again
This method works too when you plug and unplug the USB cable + the annoying scan on bootup.
For the bad news
Default Music Player will NOT be able to recognise additional new files (MP3 etc) after adding it.
Workaround for this is to reboot the phone and it will recognise it again. I presume software that depend on the Media Storage for creating paylists are prone to this issue.
For the good news
Get another music player in the Marketplace which allows you to manually scan create playlists should be fine.
if we disable Media Storage, can we do manual scanning then? i can do without the music player, but i think gallery also needs media scanning to work?
Some widgets like Extended Control has button to force scanning, wonder if it will work.
If you want a media scanner, search the market for Aditya
I have made a media refresh app.
It's called Rescan Media
http://www.androlib.com/android.application.com-addz-mediascanner-jtDAw.aspx
I think there is a slight misunderstanding here.
The main purpose of this is to disable the media scanning that occurs every reboot, power on and unmounting of the SD cards.
Instead of auto scanning, what we (I think) is to have the option of manually initialising it. This is due to the long scanning period some people have (thousands of songs etc)
I had tried your app and it works as it should with the exception that Media Storage service need to be autostarted for your app to work.
Not sure for the rest, but what I do want is to stop the annoying scanning part upon reboot/power on/umounting of SDs and to instead use your app for example to scan as and when I do want.
Btw, nice icon for the app

The icon is what I too really loved. It looks brilliant on dark wallpapers which in turn look brilliant on the SGS.
Ok now back to the topic.
If Media Storage is not started, what error do you get?
FC?
I'd like to fix it. Could you post a crash dump if you get a fc?
Or have a look at logcat for anything?
Thanks

You got it right! Im using a pitch black wallpaper!
Anyway, back to topic.
When Media Storage is disabled from startup.
1) Launch Rescan Media
2) Screen will flick for a split second
3) Media scanning message does not appear
4) Repeatedly attempts yield the same thing
When Media Storage is enabled
1) Launch Rescan Media
2) Screen will flick for a split second
3) Media scanning message occurs
4) Repeated attempts still successful
This phenomenon still occurs even when tested with other media scan app (ScanMedia by HumanRobot) so rest assured its not bad coding on your end.
There is no crash or FC. Just nothing happened that is all.

suggestion:-
check for Media Storage status when user runs your app
1) if not running (means user has disabled startup intentionally), then start Media Storage, do the scan, then kill it when user exit your app.
2) if already running (ie default phone setting), then no change is required.
YES I HAVE DONE IT.
I CAME, I SAW, I HIT HIM RIGHT THERE IN THE JAW!!!! *WOOT WOOT*
Uninstall the older Rescan Media
Search for Aditya in the market.
Then Rescan Media ROOT.
I require ROOT privileges to restart services and processes.
Open the app and allow root privileges(I promise there is nothing bad going on).***Read more on what goes on behind the scenes.
To kill the service after you are done click on kill service.
To restart the service click restart service.
To quit click exit.
***Read what goes on behind the scenes
I execute
Code:
"pm enable com.android.providers.media/com.android.providers.media.MediaScannerReceiver"

Hi Dude!
Thanks for the continued support!
I just downloaded it from the market and tested.
Pity though that I couldn't get it to work. Got stuck at the "Hardcore background Kung-fu"
Funny!
OK, here's the thing. My rom (JM5 + Lagfix) is not a default rom so your fix might not have work since some of my files were shuffled around to the ext2.
Perhaps I will try your fix again when I flashed to a newer default rom next time with a newer lagfix.
Hope to hear some success stories from the rest here.
One more thing: Your app is the 1st I see in the Market that required 0 permission (beside the newly added Superuser permission).
That is AWESOME!
Keep it up and thanks again for the good work!

In case you interested, this is the output after I keyed in your command.
Component {com.android.providers.media/com.android.providers.media.MediaScannerReceiver} new state: enabled
Did a test drive by rebooting and switching off Media Storage. Works like a charm now.
Perhaps you can advise what was wrong earlier? Was my MediaScannerReceiver state=off?

Maybe it needed to be on just once I really dunno lol.
Now we just need to wait for this thread to be propagated around.
Saw a couple of posts in Android Forums and Modaco asking for a fix like this.
I say, this is a different kind of Lagfix altogether
LOL~!
Is it possible this fix can be incorporated in the next Rescan Media Root?
And you are right. The command only need to be entered once and not every reboot
I think I'm going to go share this with your captivate brethren. This works great!
Hey guys,
Before rooting, I could get all my audio files to show up whenever I wanted to use on for a contact's ringtone, or a notification or anything. Now, I can't see them. Am I supposed to put them somewhere so the phone will detect them?
Also, I'm wondering why the ROMS for 2.2 Froyo on the mt3gs have ADW launcher on them. Is that because we don't have an official T-Mobile or HTC Sense launcher yet? Or am I totally off with what I'm saying?

You can still select your songs as your ringtone. You just need to go to you music app and select it as such through there. I personally use ringdroid and that makes my song clip a ringtone to be bundled with the ringtones available.
and yes, there isnt a sense launcher 2.2 yet so therefore it can not be included in a mts rom. There are other home launchers you can use however.

Go to said Contact, Press menu, options, ringtone.
It doesn't show MY tracks that I put on the SD card. It only gives me the default track as an option.
Could this be a bug in the ROM?? I gotta be able to use my tracks for different people. Where should I put the tracks?
Oh, ok. You want each contact to have a diff ringtone. Download ringdroid from market and make your ringtones there. The newly made ringtones will appear with the default.

Ok, cool, I'll try that. I just found it so weird that it was so simple on 2.1 but now with the 2.2 ROM it doesn't seem to work. I'll try ringdroid. I was thinking it might work if I copied the ringers I have into the folder on the phone that holds all the stock ringers. Thought maybe that might work. I like to try to run things with as few apps as possible to help the battery.
Thanks!

Astro won't let me paste or move to the phone. Any ideas?
Use adb to put the files there. None of the root explorer apps ever worked for me.
Any idea where I can get commands to do that kind of copying? I have no idea how to use adb other than the instructions in rooting.
I just recently installed Koni's Elite Series III. It is my favorite ROM so far. One thing that i cant get to work is the HTC Music, and htc Music Widget apps. He has them as an optional download on the ROM page. I downloaded them, put them on the root of my sd card, and tried to flash the .zip file through clockwork mod. it says Installing update...
Installing HTC Music and Widget...
Done.
Install from sdcard complete.
When I boot back up nothing has changed and the apps are not there. so i tried extracting the apk's to the sdcard's extracted folder and installing them from there and it says application not installed. I even tried to move the apk's to the system\apps folder and install them from there but still no dice.
I tried to figure out how to post this on the rom page but I guess xda doesnt want people asking questions on dev posts haha. hopefully someone can help! Thanks!

The first thing I would do, is check your permissions on both the Music apk, and the music widget apk. Navigate to /system/app, find the htcMusic.apk, and long press it, then select 'permissions'. Make sure that it's set the same as the other system apps. Most likely you just need to be sure that User: read and write are both checked. Once the permissions are set for both of them, reboot the phone and see if that worked.
sweet!
Worked like a charm! I didnt even think about that. Thanks a bunch!!

Ya seriously! so would you know by chance how to get the htc music 2x3 widget? I thought thats what the .com.htc.musicwidget.apk was, but strangely enough that is the standard android 1x3 music widget.... I was hoping to get the htc one because its twice the size and i can control the song without going into the app, plus when the screen is locked it has controls on top of the lock bar

ya, i pulled it from another rom (stock turbo) that has the 2x3 widget. in fact while i was on that rom earlier today (to get this, and the flashlight app) i renamed the com.htc.musicwidget.apk to com.htc.music.widget.blk and the widget disapeared. so.... the htc.musicwidget.apk must be the right file, but why would it only give me the option for the regular android 1x3 widget..... and ya the permissions are the same as all the other widgets. user has read and write and everyone else has just read. I just renamed the htc.musicwidget.apk on my phone on koni's to htc.musicwidget.apk and the android music 1x3 is still there. so i dont think that they are connected, the apk probably just isnt installing right

I would re download your widget, and try again. Are you sure the file didn't get corrupted? (Size is the same as it is in the rom you took it from) The 1x3 widget you're describing sounds like its the widget for the stock android music player, which I also believe is included in konis elite. That would tell me that something isnt right with your com.htc. MusicWidget.apk. did you name it right? (Capitals matter, it can't be all lower case. The m and the w both need tone capitals.

Is it possible to customize the phone app in Task650? I'd like the stock phone app from 4.1.1 where the display is
larger and the name of the caller is also large.
Is this possible?? Otherwise, I like the Task650 ROM (finally loaded).

I am not actually responding to this question but to the question you posted about using an mp3 file as your ringtone. I have one that I created years ago with an app called Ringroid and it let me capture part of an mp3 and set it as a ringtone. After every complete wipe, I drag that file from my external sd to my internal sd card and I can select it as my ringtone (it does not have the same extension, nor does it appear on the list as the other ringtones). I can, however, using ES file explorer select it as my ringtone (it lists all of my music, including the clip I use as my ringtone).
Thanks. I did that and it worked. Now on to the dialer issue.
Suggestions?

After every complete wipe, I drag that file from my external sd to my internal sd card and I can select it as my ringtone (it does not have the same extension, nor does it appear on the list as the other ringtones). I can, however, using ES file explorer select it as my ringtone (it lists all of my music, including the clip I use as my ringtone).

Thanks. I did that and it worked. Now on to the dialer issue.
Suggestions?

Stock 4.1.1 dialer will be touchwiz, which won't work on aokp roms, at least without some heavy framework modding. Even then I'm not sure it's possible. Best to look at dialer alternatives in the play store if you don't like the one in Task's rom.
Thank you. I've taken a look and nothing really jumps out.
I've chosen to post this fix that I have created here to bring more attention to XDA, instead of posting directly on OPPO Forums. This is because OPPO staff have clearly stated with their latest release of ColorOS v2.1.5i that it will be their last.
The mods also didn't reply when I offered to share with them this, so.. That's the situation there.
For those who still prefer ColorOS while Project Spectrum is being developed (released today but not all ColorOS features included), follow the steps below.
After 3 weeks if testing.. Here is the fix!!
Issue:
After some usage, you notice app notifications appear, then disappear immediately.
After reboot, this behavior persists. Additionally, your startup apps do not autostart anymore.
Apps in the background are automatically closed after switching to another app.
Manual Fix:
There is a problematic folder and file that needs to be removed. Use a file manager such as Solid Explorer to browse to the files and remove them.
/data/data_bpm - remove folder and files
/data/system/appops.xml - remove file
Reboot and all is fixed.
Persistent notifications hidden using notification centre reappears. Just enable and disable the notification through the notifications control and it will go away.
Tasker is recommended to create a reboot button. The task sequence for reboot would be to remove the problematic files and folder before reboot. It automates the process making your life easier.
If this helps you..
Please spread the word and link back to this thread on xda. ?
Thanks for the fix, dude, very much appreciated
Well done! Even though I am not using COS anymore, I really do appreciate your post!
Thank you for the fix! Cheers
Thanks for the share. Will try this. In the meantime, anyone still having notification problems, try greenify. The fix is in experimental features but you will need to pay for this feature. I've decided to settle on 2.1.5i. Will move to asop when it is more stable. Cheers.

Could you elaborate more? I'm also using greenify but issue still persists.
You need xposed framework for it to work. In settings, go to experimental features. Tick telephony wake up, don't remove notifications and gcm push. I have all notifications coming in on time. Gmail default app seems to be the only problem app so I use default email app instead. P.s. I tried deleting the first folder and files but it shows up again after reboot. The second file is gone. Is this correct? Thanks.

I had all the options selected. Guess it does not work for me.
And yes, files are recreated. I would suggest adding the deletion to a task sequence for reboot to automate the procedure.

Regarding notifications, I've also put every messaging app and email in white list and auto run management. Funny why it's not working out for you. I get reply notifications from youtube too, without adding it. Not sure about how to do the task sequence but everything seems to be fine now.

You can use Tasker to create a reboot button or profile.
But I suggest using other mm roms.. Coloros pales in comparison after I switched.
If you're rooted, removing Security Centre would stop a lot of issues....
These Chinese phones are over the top on built in security apps and I assume because China has a lot of aggressive adware.
Xposed and MinMinGaurd, plus AdBlock Browser fixes a lot of issues.
@RobboW Do you really remove the Security Centre?
I kept it but it is annoying at times. You have to go in and check so many settings if you install anything you want to run at boot or start up itself. I even had to move a couple of apps into system instead of user so they would run reliably.
Does Xposed trouble with Color OS?
Deleting the file and folder seems to do the job, but not 100%. Yesterday I noticed Waze was closing after switching to another app, so I checked and they were back in the data folder. Deleted them again, but they seem to reappear after every reboot? Anyway, now waze seems to work and does not close with the "new" fikes.
Another solution to the problem is to convert apps that have problems to system apps. It worked for me with Chrome (wasn't getting Facebook notifications at all in chrome), Google Calendar, and Titanium Backup (batch actions would not complete because the app would close when not in foreground).
Do you need to be rooted to locate/delete the two files? I can't seem to find it on my device.
